Coming Soon: ~scape and Crêpes: Etc.

I swung by the Central West End this afternoon to check out the two new restaurants that Chicago-based Levy Restaurants is opening in Maryland Plaza: ~scape and Crêpes, Etc. I couldn't really tell how close to opening Crêpes: Etc. is, but ~scape looks very close. (As I mentioned last week, ~scape is holding a sneak preview later this month.)

Here are some of the dishes on ~scape's dinner menu: prime rib of veal, wood-grilled lamb porterhouse, roasted crispy duck leg with moscato grapes and a twenty-ounce aged prime ribeye steak. Entrée prices range from $18.95 to $42.95 (the ribeye).

Here are a few of the savory crêpes at Crêpes: Etc.: braised beef short ribs, caramelized onions and a roquefort-butter sauce; wood-roasted chanterelle, oyster and black-trumpet mushrooms; broccoli, caramelized onions, French ham and mornay sauce.
